cast your shadows
half-lived on the walls
soak the lamplight
soak the candlelight
all into you
cast your shadows and
I'll hold them
if you like
they're insubstantial
dark and only
a fraction of you
but they can fill me

I overflow

I loved it.

What does the title mean? Or can I ask?

Your words dance.

To clarify, although it makes the poem lose a bit of its mystery, the title is German meaning roughly "For a Lover." But the noun Liebste in German is more of a pet name. Moreover, it's the pet name I use for my girlfriend. This poem is about her.
